Objective:
Clinical pathways are standardized, multidisciplinary, integrated management plans. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of clinical pathways in children with Rotavirus enteritis.
Methods:
Seventy-one children with Rotavirus enteritis were treated according to the clinical pathways. Seventy-five children with Rotavirus enteritis who received routine therapy and nursing interventions served as the control group. The clinical efficacies were compared between the two groups.
Results:
The average hospitalization duration was shortened, the hospitalization costs were reduced and the parents' satisfaction rate increased in the observed group compared with the control group (P<0.05).
Conclusions:
The use of clinical pathways may decrease the hospitalization duration and costs and improve the quality of nursing care and the parents' satisfaction rate in children with Rotavirus enteritis.

Routes of Drug Administration: Enteral
Enteral administration involves drug administration via the mouth in two ways: orally or sublingually.
Unlike sublingually drugs, drugs that are taken orally pass through the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and get metabolized by the liver. Once metabolized, the drug is absorbed into the systemic circulation, reaching different body parts via the bloodstream. However, while passing through the stomach,...
